Today was another day at the KDB office in Durham. When I arrived at around 8:30 this morning, I was told I was going to be participating in a meeting with Mr. Kavinsky and some Facebook executives. Although I can’t legally say what we discussed, I can say that it was very, very interesting. The meeting lasted about one hour and afterwards I met with Ms. Courtney White where she walked me through how to proof a patent using the USPTO website and various other patent tools. It was actually quite interesting seeing all the hard work that goes into making sure a patent application is properly filed and sent off. I then shadowed Ms. Moye as she sent out a patent to an IP attorney on its deadline. There are a lot of steps that go into this process and the entire process took around 45 minuets to complete. I then got to do some proofing myself as I was assigned 10 patents to proof. Those took me about 3 hours in total to do. Overall the day was pretty eventful and riveting.
